Question

In an office building, 54 office are currently being rented, this represent 30% of the total units. how many offices are in the building

Answer 1

given that,

54 offices are currently rented

and it represent 30% of the total unit

to get the total offices in the building

let the total offices be x

30% of x = 54

30/100 X x = 54

cross multiply

30x = 5400

dividing both sides by 30

30x/30 = 5400/30

x = 5400/30

x = 180

therefore the total offices in the building is 180
